I think my obsession with the sea comes from my grandfather – he built boats as a hobby. My Dad sailed too, and started teaching me when I was 11 years old. I loved it at first but then got too scared to continue…the vastness and dangerous strength of the water terrified me. It’s not surprising such a vast concept has resonated with so many artists – Respect The Sea (and scroll down for links to all the artists).
